Get Away

Avant

Mmm…yeah, hey, babe

I back again, in this town
To find a girl that I used to know
I bumped into, a friend of mine
And she told me where to go
She said go right down, the 56th street
Make a left at the corner store
There'll be a house in the alleyway
Hope she didn't move away
I pray she's still around
But somebody came to the door that I didn't know
And I knew I had to let it go
Is it over (is it over) all over (all over)
I've let a good girl get away, yeah

How could I ever let her get away? (oh, babe)
Today is not a happy day
So many words that I had to say
And baby, I miss you and I need your love (yeah, yeah)
How could I ever let her get away?
Today is not a happy day (today is not a happy day)
It could have been our anniversary (oh, yeah)
I'd do anything to have you right here in my arms

Remember when, we talked about
All the things that we planned to do
Our wedding day, our house in the valley
Maybe a kid or two
We could've had it all, babe
But somehow it all fell apart
I agree to take the blame
See I'm feeling so ashamed
I never should've lied

I'd give anything (I'd do anything, baby)
To see your pretty face again (see your pretty face again)
Hold you, to feel you
Heaven give me one more chance
(Heaven give me one more chance)

How could I ever let her get away?
Today is not a happy day
So many words that I had to say (oh, baby)
And baby, I miss you and I need your love
(Need you, my hero)
How could I ever let her get away? (oh, yeah)
Today is not a happy day (today is not a happy day)
It could have been our anniversary (oh)
I'd do anything to have you right here in my arms

If only it possible
For me to turn back the hands of time
I'd do anything (anything) give anything
Just to make her mine
I can't live without your love, babe
I can't go on another day
Where did she go (where did she go)
I gotta know (I gotta know)
I've let a good girl get away, get away, get away, yeah

How could I ever let her get away? (oh, no)
Today is not a happy day (today is not a happy day)
So many words that I had to say
And baby, I miss you and I need your love
(I miss you, need you, baby)
How could I ever let her get away? (ooh)
Today is not a happy day 
(Today is not a happy day, yeah, yeah)
It could have been our anniversary (ooh, babe)
I'd do anything to have you right here in my arms
(I want you)

I'd give anything (I'd give anything)
To see your pretty face again (oh, babe, yeah)
Hold you, to feel you (touch you)
Heaven give me one more chance (heaven give, yeah, yeah)

How could I ever let her get away?
(Could see you but me)
Today is not a happy day
So many words that I had to say
(So many words, so many things)
And baby, I miss you and I need your love
(Written message in a bottle, baby)
How could I ever let her get away?
(Come to me, come on)
Today is not a happy day (call me)
It could have been our anniversary (be with you, baby)
I'd do anything to have you right here in my arms
